Appeal of Discharge or Discipline Should the discharged or disciplined employee consider the discharge or discipline to be improper, a grievance shall be presented in writing as provided in the grievance procedure. In cases of discharge, or discipline resulting in suspension, the grievance shall be filed at Step 2 of the grievance procedure within 10 days of the discharge.
Discipline or Discharge No employee covered by this Agreement shall be discharged except for just cause. “Just cause” will include the concept of progressive discipline (such as verbal and written reprimands, the possibility of suspension and termination). Which level of progressive discipline the Employer will use in a situation will depend on the circumstances and severity of the regular employee’s conduct or work performance as evaluated by the Employer. Employees shall receive a copy of all progressive discipline warnings to be placed in their personnel file. Employees shall be required to sign the written warnings within forty-eight (48) hours for the sole purpose of acknowledging receipt thereof. The Employer agrees to provide a copy of the written disciplinary action to the Union within ninety-six (96) hours of issuance. The inadvertent failure to provide the Union with a copy of the disciplinary action will not be the basis to overturn the discipline for just cause. However, if such failure causes the Union to miss the deadline to file a grievance for the discipline, the deadline shall be extended for that amount of time. Progressive discipline will not be applied when the nature of the offense is just cause for immediate suspension or discharge. Employees who have been discharged by the Employer shall, upon request by the employee, be given a written statement of the cause of discharge by the Human Resources Department at the time of discharge or within a reasonable time thereafter. Employees may request in writing to have written disciplinary action in their personnel file removed if eighteen (18) months have passed without a related discipline. Such request will not be unreasonably denied.
Discipline for Just Cause Disciplinary action shall be taken only for just cause, however probationary employees may be discharged without just cause and shall have no right to grieve discharge (see Article 7, Probationary Period). Disciplinary action, except discharge, shall have as its purpose the correction or elimination of incorrect work-related behavior by an employee. Supervisors may not take disciplinary action against an employee who, in good faith, reports a violation of any federal or state law or regulation to a governmental body or law enforcement official. Disciplinary action may not be taken against an employee who is requested by a public agency to participate in an investigation, hearing, or inquiry, as well as an employee who refuses to participate in any activity that the employee, in good faith, believes violates state or federal law.
DISCHARGE OR DISCIPLINE 1. The Company shall have the right to discipline or discharge associates for just cause in accordance with the reasonable, established Company rules and regulations, which may be modified from time to time by the Company. In the case of the discharge of an associate, the Company shall furnish the discharged associate a signed statement giving the reason for discharge. The Company shall also email a copy of the signed statement to the President of Local 81408 as well as the representing xxxxxxx within three (3) business days.
Union Policy Grievance or Employer Grievance A Union policy grievance or an Employer grievance may be submitted to the Employer or the Union, as the case may be, in writing, within ten (10) work days of the time circumstances upon which the grievance is based were known or should have been known by the griever. A meeting between the Employer and the Union shall be held within five (5) work days of the presentation of the written grievance and shall take place within the framework of Step 3 of Article 22.05
Discharge/Suspension Grievance If an employee, who has completed his probationary period, claims that he has been unjustly discharged or suspended, such claim must be submitted by the employee, who may be accompanied by a Union xxxxxxx, or by a Committee member at Step 2 of the grievance procedure to the Hospital within five (5) days following the date the discharge or suspension is effective. Such grievance may be settled under the Grievance and Arbitration procedure by:
DISCIPLINE/DISCHARGE 21.01 The Employer may warn, suspend, demote or discharge an employee for just cause. If the conduct or performance of an employee warrants disciplinary action, such action shall be confirmed in writing. A copy of all such documentation shall be provided to the employee(s) involved, and forwarded to the office of the Union at the time they are issued.
Regular Employment The Employer may fill a position with a regular employment appointment for positions scheduled to work twelve (12) months per year.
DISCHARGE OR SUSPENSION The Employer shall not discharge nor suspend any employee without just cause, but in respect to discharge or suspension shall give at least one (1) warning notice of a complaint against such employee to the employee, in writing, and a copy of the same to the Union, except that no warning notice need be given to an employee before he/she is discharged if the cause of such discharge is dishonesty, drinking alcoholic beverages or being under the influence of drugs or in illegal possession of drugs during the workday (including meal period) or drunkenness, recklessness resulting in serious accident while on duty, or the carrying of unauthorized passengers while on the job or offenses of equal seriousness. Except for serious accidents, a driver will not be removed from the payroll during an investigation of an accident. The driver can be assigned to non-driving work during this period. Before disciplinary action is taken, a meeting shall be held with the employee and the employee shall have the right to choose a Xxxxxxx who is readily available and on the premises. In the case of discharge for any offense other than the above mentioned, including suspension, the disciplinary action will be held in abeyance for two (2) weeks to give the Local Union the opportunity to intervene prior to the action being taken. The warning notice, suspension or discharge as herein provided shall not remain in effect for a period of more than nine (9) months from the date of said warning notice, suspension or discharge. Any disciplinary action must be by proper written notice to the employee and the Union affected. Disciplinary letters must be issued by the Company within ten (10) working days after the incident. Any employee may request an investigation as to his/her discharge or suspension. Should such investigation prove that an injustice has been done to an employee, he/she shall be reinstated. The C.P.A.P.G.C. or the impartial arbitrator shall have the authority to order full, partial or no compensation for time lost. Appeal from discharge or suspension must be taken within ten (10) days by written notice and a decision reached within thirty (30) days from the date of suspension or discharge. An employee shall be given a copy of any Company form or document signed by the employee if requested. The Company will not use absenteeism or accidents in conjunction with any other disciplinary action.
Disciplinary suspension (1) This subsection does not apply to suspensions pending charges for removal.
